Y., MONDAY, JUNE 21, 1943 PRICE FIVE MINERS ON STRIKE AWAIT ICKES MOVE Race Riots Take 3 Lives, Injure 150 In Detroit BULLETIN Detroit— ( AP) —Michigan state police and state troops were ordered to Detroit to- day to restore order after six persons were killed and some 200 injured in wide- spread race riots. Detroit— (AP), —Three Negroes were shot and killed, two police- men were wounded and more than 150 other persons injured this morning in race rioting which broke out on the Belle Isle bridge and spread into Detroit's extensive downtown Negro district. A survey of five police precints stations at S a.m. showed at least 238 persons held for assault and disturbing the peace. One of those slain bore a draft card issued to Carl Lincoln, 19. Pa- trolmen Harold Bole and Vernon Hayden said they fired after he threw a brick at Bole. The officers said they were called to Hancock , and Beaubien Streets by two Ne- gro patrolmen Who reported Lin- coln was molesting Avomen and throwing bricks into the street. One of the police bullets struck him in the chest. The others killed were identified through cards on their persons as William Hardges, 27, and Robert Davis, 28.\ Police reports said Sergt. Floyd C. Noot and Patrolman Ernest J. Hartwick Jr., were wounded in a _ gun battle with Negroes at Division and Hastings Streets. Most of the widespread rioting xKhieh-had coEtinued through the early morning hours was reported under control at 7 a.m. After a conference of high law enforcement officials, Capt. Donald . S. Leonard of the Michigan State Police said he believed Detroit po- lice were getting the situation in hand and he would advise Gov. Harry F. Kelly \there was no im- mediate need for martial law.\ Store windows in the Negro dis- t trictwere smashed, there was con- siderable looting, and at least 20 taxieabs were stoned and damaged, . police reported. The conference of officials be- gan at 4 a.m. and continued for several hours. Attending it were Capt. Leonard, Mayor Edward Jef- • fries, John Bugas, head of the De- • troit FBI Office, Col. August M. Krech, commander of the Army's First Internal Security District of Michigan and police officials. French Agreement Eludes Conferees Algiers — (AP) — The French Committee of National Liberation was reported unofficially today to have failed to agree in a morning meeting on the issue of division of military powers between Gen- eris Charles DeGaulle .and Henri Giraud. •«• Thirteen members of the com- mittee met in a plenary session for two hours and forty-five min- utes under the shadow of the prors- pect that DeGaulle might with- draw unless his own proposals for Reorganization of French military affairs were adopted. Unoffically, it was stated that the committee got no further than arguing the question of who should be Commander in Chief, e position Giraud now holds. DeGaulle was reported to have demanded an immediate vote on this appointment. Japanese Airbase In Solomons Hit An Advanced South Pacific Base —(AP)— Liberator bombers blast- ed the Japanese airbase of Ka- hili on Bougainville island for the second consecutive night Saturday and dive bombers followed this up ' early Sunday with a thorough past- ing of Vila, an enemy airfield or! Kolombangara island, also in the Solomons group. , Airforce headquarters reported today about 25 tons of bombs were hnloaded on Vila, starting large fires in storage dumps and poek- • marking the landing strip. Fires were started also at Kahili and returning pilots reported resultant explosions.

Several of the attacking bombers were brought down. ' Berlin Reports Earthquake Takes 15,000 Lives In Turkish Disaster London — fAF) — The Berlin radio\ \saift today a' violent eartib.- quaice had- rocked the northwest part of Anatolis province of Tur- key and that unconfirmed reports placed the dead in the city of Ad- apazar alone at 15,00, half its population. The account, from the none-too- reliable Transoeean News Agen- cy, said the quake occurred shortly after 7:30 p.m. Sunday night dur- ing a heavy thunderstorm, and that a muffled subterranean rumbling from below the earth's surface ad- ded to the terror. The quake's epicenter was placed at Adapazar and the un- confirmed reports, Transoeean said, were that 40 per cent of the houses were destroyed and anoifch- er 30 per cent, were damaged sev- erels. Anatolia is the great western peninsula of Turkey between the Black and Mediterranean seas, leading to. the Dardanelles. Earth tremors also were report- ed felt in. other parts of Anatolia, even in the' east. Sparse and dis- rupted communications delayed accurate accounts of damage and suffering. The earthquake shocks were felt at Istanbul, formerly Con- staninople, and the principal city of Turkey, and the German agen- cy said .the people there were \seized with panic,\ rushing from their homes . and restaurants. It required more than an hour'to re- store calm, the report added. Deer Goes Shopping, Causes Disturbance Buffalo — (AP). — The unident- ified woman who telephoned police there was \quite a disturbance\ at the Erickson Upholstering Cam- pany on Main Street yesterday wasn't fooling. Officers sped to the scene aind found the disturbing element was a large buck deer. The animal had leaped through a plate glass win- dow and upset a window display. Allies Wm Great\ 5-Day Sea Battle London — (AP) — Land-based bombers, escort carrier planes and warships, teamed in the Allied ef- fort to clear the Atlantic of Hit- ler's submarines, are credited of- ficially with beating off \one of the fiercest and. most sustained offensives ever mounted\ against convoys in a five-day battle last month. British authorities announced last night that from two to five of the submarines were destroyed and that the air and surface, screen was so effective only three per cent of the convoy vessels were even molested — attacked, dam- aged or sunk. The known submarines sinkings were credited to warships, but pocket-size escort carrier's planes and the big bombers detected the submarines so effectively most engagements were fought many miles from the convoyed vessels, the communique said. Allies Destroy 48 Jap Planes Allied Headquarters in Australia — (AP) — Forty-eight Japanese planes stabbed at, Darwin, .Aus- tralia, Sunday but at least nine\ were cut down m a furious 10- minute battle with Spitfires. Two Allied planes, flown by British and Australian pilots, were missing but ground damage and casualties were minor. Six enemy bombers and three fighters were listed as definitely shot down. They were seen crash- ing. Allied Headquarters in North Af- t rica — (AP) — Allied air arms in the Mediterranean struck dou- ble blows during the weekend at key points in an invasion path to Italy as signs grew that Fascist leaders were preparing*for desper- ate defense and official Allied de- nials dashed rumors that high It- alian emissaries were in seeking peace. The harbor areas of Reggio Cal- abria and San Giovanni, in the It- alian peninsula toe across the Mes- sina strait from Sicily, were ham- mered heavily in daylight raids Saturday by American Heavy Lib- erator bombers from Middle East Command bases. Two - ton blockbusters were dropped on the port area of Syra- cuse, on the lower east Sicilian coast, in a moonlight raid Friday by RAF two-engineed Wellingtons of the North African strategic air force. The weekend action was detailed in Sunday communiques. The North African force confined its activity Saturday to patrolling. Reliable Allied sources flatly de- nied rumors that Italian envoys— Marshal Pietro Badoglio, Crown Prince TJmberto and even King Vittorio Emanuele were named in gossip among the French Civil population — were anywhere in North Africa seeking ,a separate peace. On the other ha^id it appeared that Axis troops and air forces had been poured into Sardinia and Si- cily to defend the island outposts in a last ditch stand. (Axis invasion speculation took the turn last night that action might come in the eastern MedhV erranean, where the Middle East Command has been pounding ene- my shipping and Axis-railway tar- gets on the Greek mainland. (The German radio, in a broad- cast recorded by the Minstry of Information at London, said an Al- lied fleet was reported off the Syr- ian coast, making preparations to steam into action in the Aegean Sea. (The German radio also said two battleships, an aircraft carrier, a cruiser and 17 destroyers — three of them American — were report- ed anchored at Gibraltar and that five' landing craft mounting cannon and anti-aircraft batteries had moved from the fortress in the di- rection of North Africa.) FDR May Demand Subsidy Funds, Sign Strike Bill j Washington — (AP) — The pos- ; sibility that ^President Roosevelt I may make new demands for food j price subsidy funds If he signs the Connally-Smith-Harness anti-strike hill was forecast in some Congres- sional circles today. •* While legislative leaders said they understood Mr. Boosevelt is reluctant to accept some provi- sions of the measure, several thought he may approve the bill and then call on Congress to fur- nish money to effect the rollback in food costs that organized labor gas been seeking. Directed prrimarily at providing machinery for use in the coal wage dispute, which entered another cri- sis stage today with breakdown of negotiations between the operators and John L. Lewis' United Mine Workers, the measure outlaws strikes in government - controlled j war industries, sets up restrictions to slow down walkouts in privately- operated plants, empowers the War Labor Board (WIB) t o settle disputes and prohibits union con- tributions to political campaigns Organized labor generally Huge Jap Force May Invade Russia Soon fe^@i°i At a Glance The War EUROPEAN FRONT Russia Heavy Russian artillery bom- bardments in Sevsk sector of piv- otal Orel front announced; Red air fleet smashes hangars, stores, planes parXed at Bryansk and Karachev.

Such is not the case. They have nothing in common, much to quar- rel about. It is interesting to note Japan is applying the \soft pedal\ rather than the Russians, whose hatred for the Japanese is frequently ex- pressed. The Russians bodly describe the Siberian frontier between Man- churia and chosen (Korea) as the far eastern front, as they have done since 1938, and they have kept two well-equipped armies in that .area despite the trials of the war with Germany. Japanese hate and fear the Rus- sians. A Japanese who was influen- tial in the government at that time —1941—once told me what it was. He said: \You in America, protected from all sides, have never had a •big bear on your back all of the time.\ (Continued on Page 5) ther wage increases and there re- mained doubt that labor's opposi- tion to i t would be greatly modif- ied by new administration prom-1 Atlantic Battle < I I New Allied \vest pocket\ air-1 craft carrier proves worth in five-' I day,' five-night convoy battle in RAF In Crushing Raid On France London — (AP) — A Saturday ises to roll baclc food prices by ™^^™J^Z r £ a ^ fj^% ™j»teM raid by RAF heavy bombers of subsidies. i^ hlch Planes and snips destroyed j left the mnnit!ons „„„,„„. „, T „ The subsidy question probably \ Uvo > P erha P s five ° r more, of Adolf will come before the Senate Wed- atler ' s tr-boats..

The bill, which Army officials said would help them take the war to the home grounds Germany, Italy and Japan, Was slated for consideration of the Senate Ap- propriations Committee Tuesday after today's House action. Debate started Saturday with members concurring in the ap- propriations Committee's descrip- tion of the amount as \frightful\ but agreeing with its necessity to carry on global war. Five other departmental ap- propriation bills were tied up be- cause of differences between the Senate and the House, with dead- locks threatening to interfere with plans for a Congressional recess early next month. Italian Morale Ebbing Under Allied Aerial Pounding Black Market Price For Cigarets Hits $24.93 By Edwin Shanke Stockholm— (AP) —The Italian people want to get out of the war and gain relief from Allied bomb- ings that have hammered pre-iwa- Sion warnings .home to Italy's in- dustrial centers, informants recent- ly returned from that country said today. | Short of food except in high priced blaclc marks* trading, short of sleep because oiMallied air raids, and short of hope because thiey have lost faith in Mussolini's Pas- cist Regime, the Italians were re- ported welcoming invasion or a separate peace as putting them out ] of their current misery. (Rumors among the French Civil population in North Africa Satur- day that highly-placed Italian en- voys were there asking for a sepa- rate peace were officially declared by Allied sources to be ' without basis. Axis spokesmen previously had denied the rumors.) Among the wartime confusion, Pope Pius XII stood out as the most important figure in Italy, the informants said here, with the average Kalian looking hopefully to him as \the man of the hour.\ Because of the nearness of Vati- Exchange Rate can City, which leads to a popular belief Rome will not be bombed, the capital now i s jammed with evacuees from other bombed cities, with lodging non-existent and food scarce. Moreover, German officers who have poured into the capital were accused of feeding the black mar- ket by freely trading military stores so they can go on spending sprees.

Citizens Denounce Hitler Allied Headquarters in North Af- rica —(AF)^— Sixty-seven Italian citizens of Allied-occupied Pantell- eria have signed a letter denounc- ing \the two madmen, Hitler and his faithful vassal Mussolini,\ and appealing to the Allies to \save the garden of Europe,\ it was an- nounced hei'e today.

Breaking a one-night lull in the program of battering Germany and ' Axis-occupied territory, the RAF delivered a heavy and con- centrated attack on the Schneider armament works at Le Creusot, 170 miles southeast of Paris, and hit the power station of Montchan- in, five miles away. It marked a 700-mile round trip for the RAF, which rained two and four-ton blockbuster bombs on the 750-acre iron and steel works that have been called the \Krupp of France,\ and have fed heavy guns, armor plate and locomotivee to the German war machine. Unidentified targets were bombed in the Ruhr and the Rhineland and mines were laid in enemy waters, an Air Ministry communique also said. Open For Speedy Work Resumption Washington—(AP) —- TnS big coal mining cog of the na- tion's war machine stalled again today and the 500,000 miners who run it looted to the government lor their cue. Rejecting what they termed an. \infamous yellow dog contract\ proposed by the War Labor Board (WLB), John L. Lewis and his T T uited Mine Workers invoked their \no contract no work\ pol- icy for the third time within two months after negotiations with the operators collapsed. The door was heid open for a speedy resumption of operations under the direct sponsorship of the government, however, and the next move appeared to be up to Interior Secretary. Ickes, who was placed in charge of the mines on May 1 -as Federal Fuels Adminis- -trator. ' \ Ickes, represented by his aides as feeling that no precipitate ac- tion last night could have fended off the expiration of- the latest work truce at midnight, -made ho immediate comment. He cancelled a projected trip to Columbus, Ohio, where he was to have attended the Governors' conference opening' there today, hoAvever, and stood by to receive union erepresenta- tives. The operators, declared with the breaking off of negotiations yester- day that \no poSsiblity of agree- ment exists\ so long as the min- ers continue their insistence on $1.30 a. day extra pay for under- ground travel time. This figure had been whittled down from- an orig- inal demand of $2. -. . . The mine workers' policy corcw mittee, in-a 750 word statement, assailed the War Labor Board, which Lewis has charged with prejudice. The work stoppages began in an orderly fashion with the' Friday night shifts and approximately 64,- 000 miners had ' quit work • before the whistles blew an' empty sum- mons this morning. Ickes has been \nominally in. charge .of the mines since the gov- ernment took them over on May 1, but until today the operators have continued in actual control, acting as agents of the govern- ment.

Gannett Protests To Congressmen Against Price Rollback Program Rochester, N. T.—(AP)—Frank E. Gannett believes the proposed government subsidy program to achieve a rollback in food prices will discourage production and \is sure to add billions to our taxes and national debt.\ The Rochester publisher ad- dressed a telegram yesterday to members of--the House Agricultur- al Committee, the Appropriations Committee, the Senate Finance Committee, and members of Con- gress, protesting the administra- tion's handling of the food prob- lem. \The food crisis is so real, so serious, that those who have spec- ial knowledge \of it -cannot be si- lent,\ the message said, \m the last six months, I have .... sought opinions from farmers, processors ahd editors in every state, I made inquiries of 30,000 individuals and 12,000 editors. \Subsidy is a political juggernaut that never rolls backward.

Shortages of manpower and equipment could put a top limit on coal production, OWI said in a long report on fuel prospects for the coming., winter, and a third factor is \a temporary production stoppage.\ Gasoline and fuel rationing can- not be relaxed if petroleum needs are to be met, the survey de- clared — and military demand for oil rhay make the curbs on civil- ians even harsher than in the past.
